The steppers skip 1, 2 and 4. Points come in fives, threes and twos with a conversion needing a try in front of it, so no match has ever finished on any of them.

Where that lands
Highlanders by 75+levelFijian Drua by 75+

16.9% of runs finished in this bin — Fijian Drua by 3 to 7.

53 points is around the 56th percentile of the total — the middle run scored 50.

Those two figures are separate readings and are not multiplied together. The simulation draws the gap and the amount of scoring independently, so one bar of the histogram covers many scorelines and the payload holds nothing about which of them came up with which gap.

What the model says
Fijian Drua 58.0%Highlanders 39.5%average 27–25

Your pick agrees with the model on the more likely winner, Fijian Drua. Nothing here scores any of it. The model’s gap is an average over both winners and yours is one afternoon, so the two are different kinds of number rather than one being right. How the model works.

The fixture

Fijian Drua and Highlanders have no fixture on the published schedule, so there is no ground, no kick-off forecast and no team sheet to put beside this. The prediction itself does not need any of them.

5 meetings — Fijian Drua 1, Highlanders 4. Last 2026: Fijian Drua 24–14 Highlanders.

None of this reaches the model. Weather is not a feature, team selection is not a feature and the record is already inside both ratings, so the probability above does not move because any of it changed.
